New York’s Socialist Politicians 2: Tom Duane

New York State is awash with socialist and Marxist politicians. The New York legislature and the NYC City Council is full of pro-communist and socialist elected officials, mostly Democrats, who do their level best to keep the state deep blue and retard social and economic progress at every opportunity.

Tom Duane, with comrades

One of the worst offenders is Tom Duane from New York’s 29th State Senatorial District, representing the Upper West Side, Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, Greenwich Village and parts of the East Side, including the East Village, Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village and Waterside Plaza.

Duane was first elected to the State Senate in 1998, he became the Senate’s first openly-gay and first openly HIV-positive member. Prior to his election to the State Senate, Duane served for seven years in the New York City Council. He is the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Health and is also a member of the Senate Codes; Children and Families, Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks & Recreation; Finance; Mental Health and Rules Committees.

On May 7, 1994, the New York State Communist Party held a fundraising banquet to honor three Party activists Ted Bassett, Rose Kryzak and Mary Gale. Almost $3,000 was contributed in honor of the three.

New York City Councilman Tom Duane was there. He told the People’s Weekly World – “I came to honor Mary Gale, to honor her activity in support of progressive causes. She’s one of my role models. I’m proud to have earned her vote.”

On May 31, 1998, the People’s Weekly World held a Paul Robeson birth centennial celebration in New York at the Henry Winston Auditorium to celebrate the life of one of the Communist Party’s most influential members.

Tom Duane authored a City Council proclamation praising Robeson’s lifelong fight for a “world at peace, free of racism, inequality and for unity… and his fight against the erosion of domestic freedom of expression and fanatical anti-communism… Paul Robeson has become a model and an inspiration to all of us…”

Communist Party members Elena Mora and Gabe Falsetta wrote a report for the People’s World of November 19, 2004, “Many positives in N.Y. elections,” commenting on the gains made by “progressive” candidates:

The big gains were at the state level. State Senate seats were won by some progressive Democrats:

When Estelle Katz, a member of both the Communist Party USA and the Chelsea Reform Democratic Club, died in November 2012, fellow club member Tom Duane said this of her:

Estelle was inspiration to me,… “She woke up every day believing the world could be a better place for everyone. I will miss her — and her determination, empathy and great sense of humor — tremendously.

Is Tom Duane a Communist pretending to be a Democrat or a Democrat who would rather be a Communist?

If he could get elected as an open Communist, would Duane continue his current charade?

Maybe someone should ask him.

Like the Gulag

There are many important matters that Gulag Bound itself is not treating on a daily basis. For that reason we suggest The Globe & Malevolence and the sites shown under "Key Links in our Chains," below.

Sabotage

What good will it do, to protect the United States of America, or our presumed interests against the aggressiveness of China, Russia, or Islam, if, partially in fear of these threats, we lose our free and independent nation to the stealth imperialism of transnational and global governance?

As America threatens to shatter, we must see how a semi-covert, global, cartel collective and their NWO in the USA ("progressive" neo-Marxists and neo-fascists corporatists, updated with 21st Century techniques and technology) intentionally perpetrate this sabotage, while we patriots try to prevent it.

About the trajectory of this, we must pray, communicate, keep calm, and do not become the first to engage. If it comes to it, do not even respond in kind, until after the after the first times that extreme, anti-American violence is done by them. It calls for an attitude of self sacrifice -- first cheek, second cheek, then no more.

And speak out about the potential and strategic "sense" of the Obama/NWO's DHS carrying out false flag missions of violence, blaming it on American patriots, perhaps upon our militia movements.

We are in a real war, right now (of which others and I have been trying to alert fellow Sovereign Citizens for years) and the prime war is for the minds, hearts, and wills of the American People. We are opposed by an anti-American insurrection using any means of power (see Gramsci, Frankfurt School) including government power, as they are granted that opportunity.
